The aerator from Bass Pro looks like a lot easier way to go. You could also hook the aerator to an AC to DC converter from Radio Shack to run it at the house.
You could put something in the corners of the cooler but a round cooler might not matter according to that guy....
Keeping shad alive isn't all that difficult ... it doesn't require a round tank or any filtration but it does require you to use enough salt to prevent the rednose that the shad get. people think they get rednose because of the ice chest having square corners and that's not why they get it ... it's a hormone that builds up in them after they're caught and put in a tank that you have to counter and the only way to counter that is by adding salt to the water ... if you use an ice chest and you don't use enough salt the shad will get rednose and die ... not because the tank is an ice chest or not round but just because you haven't put enough salt in the water cause even in a round tank you can see the shad swimming continuously into the wall of the tank and if you don't put enough salt in the water even in a round tank then they're going to die.
